PILOPT PROJECT DEMONSTRATIONS
Completed and Ongoing and Activities
Pilot projects were undertaken at national and international levels to map the risk
assessment and requirements for satellite technology, advocating for greater use and
capacity building , and promoting processes for international validation, standardisation
and dissemination of suitable methods and practices, consistent with UNISDR strategy.
CSSP objective is to demonstrate the benefits of sharing assets (Space, ground
segment infrastructure, data products, etc,) in a multi-country, multi-sector and
multisystem environment to support the activities of any given country to use the data to
support their disaster reduction needs.

5. Future Goals and Contribution to Post HFA-2013
1. Lessons learned from CANEUS CSP provide a collaborative
environment that can be used to identify issues related to such
operational environment and identify solutions to resolve these
problems based on “needs analysis” and how the emerging space
technology based tools and resources can “bridge the gaps”.
2. Identify the issues to scale-up the pilot projects involving a larger
number of countries and the barriers to prepare the foundation for
UNISDR collaborating centre for shared space technology as a
multi-disciplinary and multi-sector approach to DRR.
3. Potential PPP based implementation framework, timelines,
success criteria / assessment for coordination, standardization,
and validation.

7. Possible Synergies and Overlaps with Other
Networks and Needs for Cooperation
1. The CSSP Platform of the CANEUS network is particularly valuable for
disaster risk reduction, as tools to overcome the weak incentives for cross‐
disciplinary, cross institution collaboration within related organisations such‐
as GEOS, SPIDER, amongst others.
2. Multi-national, multi-disciplinary shared emerging space-technology based
tools and techniques promote cooperation, trust and interdependence for
the mutual benefit of all stakeholders concerned with DRR.
3. Complementary skill sets and resources from across the networks are
needed to rapidly and cost-effectively apply emerging technologies and
methodologies to benefit the “have’s” and “have-nots” for addressing
evolving disaster needs by leveraging resources from public-private
sectors.
4. The ability to share information and resources enable international
networks to foster collaboration and cooperation to enhance their
